成形フォーム市場の2030年までの予測：タイプ別、形態別、材料別、用途別、地域別の世界分析

Stratistics MRCによると、世界の成形フォーム市場は2023年に154億米ドルを占め、予測期間中のCAGRは8.5%で2030年には272億米ドルに達する見込みです。

成形フォームは、ポリウレタンやポリスチレンなどのポリマーを金型に注入または流し込み、特定の形状に成形することで作られる材料です。金型に入ると、発泡体は膨張して固化し、金型の輪郭に適合します。これらのフォームは、その軽量性、多用途性、複雑な形状に適合する能力から、断熱材、クッション材、包装材、さらには自動車や建築用途など、さまざまな産業で広く使用されています。

国際自動車工業会によると、乗用車の世界販売台数は2020年の5,392万台から2022年には5,749万台に増加します。

業界を超えた需要の高まり

同市場は、その汎用性の高い用途により、さまざまな産業で需要が急増しています。自動車、包装から建築、エレクトロニクスに至るまで、成形フォームの軽量性、耐久性、断熱性により、成形フォームは不可欠なものとなっています。持続可能性と革新性が重視されるようになり、これらの発泡体はエネルギー効率、安全性、製品保護のためのソリューションを提供しています。需要の増加は、新しい用途の継続的な探求と、多様な分野における環境に優しい材料への推進力によって促進されています。

環境への懸念

同市場は、非生分解性、生産時の化学物質の排出、リサイクルオプションの制限といった環境問題に直面しています。廃棄物の削減、二酸化炭素排出量の最小化、持続可能な代替品の発見が課題となっています。これらの問題に対処するためには、環境に優しい材料の革新、効率的な生産方法、リサイクル技術の強化が必要であり、環境への影響を緩和し、より持続可能な成形フォーム業界を促進する必要があります。

製造における技術の進歩

市場における技術の進歩は製造業に革命をもたらしました。コンピュータ支援設計やコンピュータ支援製造などの革新は、製品設計や製造工程を最適化し、より高い精度と効率を保証しています。さらに、材料科学の進歩により、耐久性の向上、軽量構造、持続可能性の向上などの特性が強化された新しいフォーム配合が導入されています。

原材料コスト

市場の原材料コストは極めて重要で、ポリオール、イソシアネート、添加剤、発泡剤などさまざまな要素が含まれます。これらのコストは、原油価格、需給関係、地政学的影響などの要因により変動します。ポリウレタンを主成分とする発泡体は主にこれらの投入物に依存しているが、発泡ポリスチレンと押出ポリスチレン発泡体はポリスチレンのレートによって左右されます。不安定な市況、世界サプライチェーン、環境規制は、この分野の原材料の価格構造にさらに影響を与えます。

COVID-19の影響：

COVID-19の流行は、サプライチェーンの混乱、生産能力の低下、需要の変動により市場に大きな影響を与えました。自動車、包装、家具などの業界は需要の変動に見舞われ、市場の成長に影響を与えました。パンデミックによる景気減速と厳しい規制は市場拡大の妨げとなった。しかし、衛生と安全対策への注目の高まりは、発泡スチロールベースの医療機器と包装ソリューションへの需要を煽り、課題の中にいくつかのチャンスをもたらしました。

ポリスチレンフォームセグメントは予測期間中最大になる見込み

ポリスチレンフォームセグメントは予測期間中最大となる見込みです。軽量でクッション性に優れるポリスチレンフォームは、輸送中の壊れやすい物品の保護から建物の断熱材まで、多様なニーズに対応しています。市場の拡大には、フォームの特性を向上させる技術の進歩、リサイクル可能性を促進する持続可能性への取り組み、様々な分野における費用対効果が高く環境に優しい材料への需要の増加がさらに拍車をかけています。

フットウェアセグメントは予測期間中に最も高いCAGRが見込まれる

フットウェアセグメントは、その軽量性、耐久性、快適性により、予測期間中に最も高いCAGRが見込まれます。これらのフォームは優れたクッション性、耐衝撃性、柔軟性を提供し、靴の快適性と性能を高める。各ブランドは、消費者の多様な嗜好に対応し、アスレチックシューズ、カジュアルシューズ、特殊シューズの全体的な品質を高めるため、フットウェアのデザインにモールドフォーム技術を取り入れるようになってきています。

最大のシェアを占める地域：

予測期間中、北米が最大の市場シェアを占めると予測されます。軽量でエネルギー効率の高い材料への需要の高まりと技術の進歩が市場拡大の原動力となっています。汎用性の高さからポリウレタンフォームが優勢だが、発泡ポリスチレンやその他の特殊フォームの需要も高まっています。持続可能性への懸念が、環境に優しい発泡ソリューションの技術革新を促しています。市場はさらなる成長に備えており、主要企業は進化する業界の需要を満たすための製品開発と戦略的提携に注力しています。

CAGRが最も高い地域：

アジア太平洋地域が予測期間中最も高いCAGRを維持すると予測されます。この地域の製造業の拡大と、軽量で環境に優しい材料に対する消費者の嗜好の高まりが、市場の拡大を後押ししています。主要企業が製品性能と持続可能性の向上に注力していることもあり、材料の技術的進歩とイノベーションが市場の進化に寄与しています。同地域のこのダイナミックな市場は、予測可能な将来において継続的な成長と革新を遂げる態勢が整っています。
